Little Belgium, with population Of
less than 100000 people, maintains an
army OF 47,OO0 men; Norway and Sweden,
with 6,300,000 people, keep 10000 soldiers
in the field, and Denmark, with 100000
people, has $4,000.
1t is no wonder, with so many men
withdrawn from among the producers and
placed among the class that has to be
maintained by the labor Of others, that
those countries do not progress at all, are
loaded down with debts, and the people in
abject poverty.
The immense navles maintained by most
OF these countries compare in size and cost
illness with their armies, rendering the bur-
dens still greater. IL is certainty that the
present overgrown armaments cannot be
maintained, and that before many years
pass there will have to be general dis
armament.
1t will be observed that the three central
governments which are In close alliance,
Germany, Austria-TIungary, aud Italy,
themselves maintain !, 100000 soldiers, and
in the event of war could speedily place
four and half million men In the field
properly armed and equipped.
In general war for the repression Of
Russia these powers could count on being
re-enfOrced by the smaller countries by at
least 100000 more men, while the only
ally Russia could rely on would be France.
But these two alone can put 100000 SOL
diers into service, II the arms and money
could be found, unless in the case OF France,
the came conditions exist that did under
Napoleon Ill, whose army existed only on

Economy and Reform.


Economy and reform are well illustrated
by comparison OF the civil and mscella-
neous expenses OF the second year OF the
present administration Just closed with the
the second year OF the last Republican ad-
ministratlon, which closed June 80, 1888.
The civil and miscellaneous expenses for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1888, were
s,67s, ,O22 for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1887, they were Ss5, 15s, 900, an increase
in the days of economy and reform OF
siTteen millions four hundred and eighty
thousand and hirty-eigM dollars.
A Republican House OF Representatives
made the appropriations for the Republican
President In 1888, and a Democratic House
made the appropriations for the Democratic
President in 1887. This is Democratic

Some Mineral Products.

The report Of the United States geologi-
cal survey gives some interesting facts as to
the product Of the mines Of the country,
giving the yield Of coal, copper, lead, and
zinc in 1886. The coal product amounted
to 107, ,6s2, 200 short tons, exclusive Of mine
consumption. This is valued at Sl47,ll2,-
755. The Pennsylvania anthracite product
was 36,696,475 short tons, valued at $7l $751;
1876, and all other Goals amounted to 70,9S5,-
634 short tons, valued at 1854 500. The
anthracite product was 690,473 tons more
than In 1855, but its value was S552, ,s2S
less. The bituminous product was 1885,
40s tons greater than in 1885, but Its value
was $3,s66, 500 less. This would seem to
be an awkward commentary on the alleged
increase Of the cost Of smelling and mill
work.
OF copper 1856, ,37S, ,42l pounds were pro-
duced. The reservation for home consump-
tion was 117,0OO,0O0 pounds, Of which
O., 100000 pounds was Lake, 10000, 900
pounds Arizona, and the greater part of
the residue was from Montana mines.
The lead product was 1869 tons, and
of spelter 1854 tons.
The total production OF pig iron was
6,3e5, 1928 tons, of which Pennsylvania gave
over one half-tbat is, 3,293, $50 tons. The
production of iron ore was over ten million
tons, the Lake Superior region furnishing
3,562, $40 tons Of the total amount.

honesty, energy, ard intelligence Is turning
loose to flow over the country.
There is now but one obstacle in the way
Of the complete rehabilitation OF the south
in the way Of It's becoming rich, prosper
Gus, aud powerful, and that is caste-the
color line in politics. With that abolished,
with the people of both races divided upon
economic issues" the south would be the
most prosperous section Of the country. So
long as that division exsts--so long as the
black men remain in q mass In one political
party and the white men In mass In the
other-thnt long the coming day OF pros
perity is delayed.
Common sense-common honesty-com-
mon decency should inspire the white race,
who rule the south, to endeavor to break
down this condition of affairs. The Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN does not believe that
q majority Of the white men Of the south
prefer the methods they use in some Of the
states to retain power. 1t believes that 1t
is only because they consider the solid black
vote q threat, that they suppress 1t, as every
one knows they do.

this method and advance such sentiments
as we have quoted. The sooner that class
is relegated to the rear the better for all
classes.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN earnestly de-
sires that labor should be free and fairly
rewarded-that servile labor shall no longer
exist within the confines of the republic
that labor should organize to dignity and
protect itself. Free labor and servlle la
Dor cannot permanently exist together.
The words of Lincoln need only to be
slightly changed to express the present
idea-that is, "labor must be all free. or all
servile." So long as voters mass on the
color line II is impossible to make labor
free in the south. In obedience to the first
law Of nature, "self-preservation," we
urge upon both the white and the colored
race to divide between parties and vote as
they think upon economic questions" as
final and just settlement upon demo.
cratic-republican principles Of local self
government. This and this alone will give
The country free ballot, fair count, and
legal national government.

Unadulterated Bourbonism.

The Richmond Wing, one Of the organs
OF Bourbon Democracy, through corre-
spondent voices these sentimenta:
For the prosperity. the civilization OF the
south, the color line must be kept upl .
IT will be a sad day for the civais1tion and
prosperity of the south when Its people co.,
sent to abolish the color line, to divide on
economic issues.
1t is "a sad day for the civilization and
prosperity OF the south" II any considera-
BILE number OF it's people subscribe to such
ideas. They belong to another era-to
times that are past, and should never be
permitted to return.
The men who hold these views "forgct
nothing and learn nothing" 1t is to them
that the south owes the fact that 1t has
been held back twenty years in the race for
prosperity. But for them the work that Is
now being done-the wonderful improve
ments that are being made-the rapid ad
vances to wealth and prosperity, would have
come to that section twenty years or more
ago.
The world knew the great riches OF the
south even before the war, but the dark ban
OF slavery was on the country and drove
enterprise and capital away. When the
war swept that relic OF barbarism out OF
existence thousands OF men aud millions of
money were ready to enter the south and
develop its vast resources, but these Bour-
bons drove them back, preferring, like the
captive Hebrews who "sat by the rivers OF
Babylon and wept," to live In the ruins
they had wrought, than to enter the road to
prosperity and wealth.
A new generation has come to the front,
and the magic words, the "open SESAME"
have been spoken which is to bring to light
the hidden treasures of the land, but still
the croakers exist, and try to stem the tide

The Secrets of the EYES.

Generally speaking, blue eyes signify constancy
and devotion to friends.
Black eyes denote as rule sensuous character
and an inconstant, tickle disposition. However
there are some noted exceptions to this rule
The main characteristics of the violet eye, which
is called the womans eye, affection and purity,
chivalric belief and limited deficient intellectu-
atty.
Gray eyes are the most expressive of all eyes and
denote strong qualities of mind and soul. Persons
with gray eyes usually have great deal of patrl-
otism.
Self satisfaction and conceit are commonly the
characteristic traits represented by the green eye.
When the tinge verges on yellowishness it denotes
that the possessor is gifted with strong powers of
Imagination.
The very light blue eye is characteristic OF the
Northern races, and in woman it suggests con-
stancy and truth, steadfastness, simplicity, cour-
age and purpose. In man it is apt to denote a
phlegmatic disposition.
Brown eyes are the eyes of the South and East,
and denote, as general rule, passion and lack OF
originality. In woman they mean jealousy and
cruelty very often, and in men courage, supersti-
ton and mild lrecklessness-
they 60 with dark hair and complexion there is
coupled with the affectionate qualities a tendency
to deceive, stimulated by ambition for conquest
and leading to the qualification of admiration.
Hazel is very difficult color to determine, there
are so many different varieties. As general rule
eyes of this color suggest good deal of strength
of character and generally sense of mischief and
trickery. A blue gray, with bronze streaks radia-
ting from the centre, comes nearest to hazel.

How Easy 1t Is to Rob Safes.

New York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times says: ga gentleman whom met recently,
commenting on the purchase by Tiffany for $780,
600 francs of the French crown jewels, made the
remark that there is more treasure stored in the
city of New York than in any other city of the
world. "For two reasons" said he, sit is the
most valuable city to sack. In the first place a
great amount of all sorts of treasure-bulion,
diamonds and precious stones of all sorts-is
stored in safes, which any expert burglar can
open in half an hour with appliances which can
be carried in the vest pocket" He said that
man could carry in his vest pocket that which
would open any safe now in use. at does not
require an expert man, either" said he. "You
can do it; anybody do it." Then this gen
tleman went on to demonstrate clearly how 1t could
be DONE He said there is no security in safes
and the only way is to have valuables guarded by
a Waterman. He said this is the reason for the
growth of these great safe deposit companies.
He then illustrated it by saying that vial Of
nitro glycerine, with percussion cap and small
piece of putty was all that was necessary to do
the work on any safe that was now manufactured.
